Honestly one of my favorite birds, though. They’re just adorable.
They are like finches, but more colorful
And, frankly, I’d rather see one of these birds than either a tit or a mouse.
The less colorful tufted titmouse common around here is actually my favorite variety. But honestly I just love birds.
I just live the little mohawk
Aw… It’s like a titmouse for the fall
Also one of the only birds that exists in wintertime (the great tit). Everyone else flies south here
I like the chirps :)
“Tit” and “mouse” in English both come from words that mean “small”. “Titmouse” is “smallsmall”.
So when I search pictures I search for bigsmalls…
Different etymology of “tit”, that one is from “teat”.
Very strange photo. Doesn’t look like any type of titmouse I know and the original photo being from britannica.com has it as a blue tit, which isn’t technically a type of titmouse, but the color doesn’t match that image. It seems like the photo they used to put at the top of the article is some sort of composite.
I zoomed in on that depraved photo because they’re so cute.
Yep. So round and perfect.
That’s a
bluetit…?*Great tit?
It’s actually a great tit. They look very similar though.
I can only tell the difference when I see the two together!
great tit has a black hat and one white patch on the face, the other a black stripe that goes across the white patch and of corse a blueish hat.
Disappointing isn’t it!
I like the German bird names much better than the goofy english ones. Blaumeise is just poetic.
but thats a kohlmeise
What about a pair of booby’s?
The great tit is even more unsatisfying
Makes great animations though
Not even a mammal.
